Inhomogeneous Radiative Forcing of NF3 [PDF]
Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) has the potential to make a growing contribution to the Earth’s radiative budget. In this study, the global mean radiative efficiency of NF3 is calculated as 0.188 W·m−2·ppb−1 by line-by-line method.

Simulated radiative forcing from contrails and contrail cirrus [PDF]
A comprehensive general circulation model including ice supersaturation is used to estimate the climate impact of aviation induced contrails. The model uses a realistic aviation emissions inventory for 2006 to initiate contrails, and allows them to ...

Effects of Spring Dust Aerosols on Direct Radiative Forcing in China from 2000 to 2020
In order to understand the mechanism of dust aerosol influence on regional climate change, it is crucial to quantify the radiative forcing effect of dust aerosols. However, studies on the direct radiative forcing of dust aerosols over long time series in

Regional and seasonal radiative forcing by perturbations to aerosol and ozone precursor emissions [PDF]
Predictions of temperature and precipitation responses to changes in the anthropogenic emissions of climate forcers require the quantification of the radiative forcing exerted by those changes. This task is particularly difficult for near-term climate

Host model uncertainties in aerosol radiative forcing estimates: results from the AeroCom Prescribed intercomparison study [PDF]
Simulated multi-model "diversity" in aerosol direct radiative forcing estimates is often perceived as a measure of aerosol uncertainty. However, current models used for aerosol radiative forcing calculations vary considerably in model components relevant

PORT, a CESM tool for the diagnosis of radiative forcing [PDF]
The Parallel Offline Radiative Transfer (PORT) model is a stand-alone tool, driven by model-generated datasets, that can be used for any radiation calculation that the underlying radiative transfer schemes can perform, such as diagnosing radiative ...

Energy budget constraints on historical radiative forcing [PDF]
Radiative forcing is a fundamental quantity for understanding anthropogenic and natural drivers of past and future climate change1, yet significant uncertainty remains in our quantification of radiative forcing and its model representation2,3,4.
